pillows and shoes

Hey again, I thought I'd do another post showing off one of Stella's beautiful creations. This time it's a pillow that she made for me some time ago. I believe it was made using shell stitching on the front and a granny square afgan motif  on the back. Again she has used a really sweet colour scheme with shades of pinks and purples. The flower in the middle is the main feature of this pillow that has been crocheted into the piece (it's not an add-on). It's a really lovely piece of decor and I always keep it on my bed.


In other news, I bought a pair of new shoes today whilst browsing in TK Maxx (sorry for the really bad photo):

They're a cute pair of Buffalo loafers. I couldn't resist when I saw them and they're SO comfy. They're officially my favourite <3

Thanks for reading

So I said I'd upload more stuff by Stella, and trust me there are quite a few more posts to come! Today I chose to put up these lovely little pieces which are designed for babies and young children. These are the only pieces she has made so far, which is a shame because they're uber cute! I might actually see if she's willing to make some more soon. I've tried to describe them as best I can in the captions though I'm not fully aware of all the specific patterns she has used to make these. I will find out and post them up soon. My favourite has be the baby blanket which is made using a baby afghan pattern with really sweet colours that complement each other (if I do say so myself). It's perfect for warmth and is super soft for a baby's young skin. The ribbon is an added touch which really makes this blanket what it is. I really love it. The booties are also really cute. They're like designer socks and they have this traditional sort of edge to them which communicates our Turkish culture. I'm really liking the colours she's used here, I like that she kept them bright. In terms of the hat, I kinda wish it was my size...
